FC Barcelona's fate seems to have been restored back to normal after a few difficult days at the Blaugrana camp. On the back of losses against Osasuna and Monaco, the club thrashed Young Boys 5-0 in the recent UCL matchday, that too with Frenkie de Jong marking his return to the squad. Moreover, the recent update on the injury recovery of 2 players point out that things seem to have taken the right direction in the club's fortune.
FC Barcelona receives massive boost as two Spanish stars expected to return soon
Since the start of the 2024/25 season, the Catalan club has been worried by serious injury concerns, with the suspensions coming much faster than expected. Not to forget, firstly, losing talented prodigy Marc Bernal to a season-ending ACL injury, then having last season breakout star Fermin Lopez injured, and ultimately Olmo's injury, things hadn't been easy for the Catalan club.
However, things seem to have taken a turn for the better in the club's favor now. With the recent return of Frenkie de Jong, alongside positive updates on Dani Olmo and Fermin's return, the club's midfield issues seem to be nearing an end. As per Diario SPORT's reports, Dani Olmo and Fermín López are expected to be available for the match against Bayern Munich and El Clasíco.
Ahead of his injury, Barca's dream summer signing, Dani Olmo, had been one of the best players for the Catalan club. Kicking off his Barcelona journey with three goals in as many appearances, the Spaniard had been in his top form until injury took over him. Similar had been the case with Fermin, who, on the back of a brilliant Olympics campaign, was looking at his best level before he faced the suspension.
From FC Barcelona's perspective, the return of these two stars in the club's most important games in this calendar year could be significantly positive. Not only would their return be much morale-boosting for Flick's side, but it would clearly enhance the options for the German mastermind in setting up his best XI for these games.
Overall, the update of the Spanish duo, Dani Olmo and Fermin Lopez, being expected to be available could be a game-changer for the club in the important clashes against Bayern and Real Madrid. Barca fans would hope that their star players return as soon as possible, being at their best level for this season's decisive fixtures.
